Got our first trailer, now the fun begins

I bought our first trailer today. It was much more extravagant that what we were after but the price was great and it's in amazing condition.

We got a 2010 tracer 3000 bhd. Now, I have a few questions for all you pro's out there. I'm looking for accessories now. Just some thoughts I'm hoping someone has seen accessories for, or for some cool must have's that you guys/gals can share.

- I have the hookup for the bbq on the underside of the trailer closer to the front. I would love to have some sort of bracket on the outside of the trailer where I could setup the bbq

- I would also love to have an outside sink setup too for washing, etc. etc. if possible.

Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

I have never wanted a grill attached to the wall of the camper, I know a lot have them but to me the smoke and possible flame going up the side of the rig would not be good. I have a small table that I use a few feet away. As said, it is low pressure, did the grill come with the trailer? If not look for a low pressure or one that can me modified.

As mentioned above, you might want to camp once or twice and make a list of things you want to add or change so you are not doing things 2 or 3 times.

Good luck and congrats.

Welcome!

Do you have the basics? Sewer hose, fresh water hose, electrical extension cord, wheel chocks, levelling blocks?

The propane connector on the TT is low pressure. I have a separate propane stove & tank for outside cooking. Our previous HTT had a rail for mounting a stove but I bought a mating rail set and made a shelf in its place. The new TT doesn't have a rail but mounting one is the next project.

Outdoor Kitchen
This is an example of a portable outdoor kitchen. There are others that even have a portable sink. They fold down and don't require any mods to the TT. I use one and love that I can move it, and give it a thorough cleaning. The one that I have has room for a propane stove, induction cooktop, small fridge, tools, etc. You can move it close enough to hook to the propane supply, and use the electric outlet on the TT.

If it were me before I drilled any holes, use it some to see exactly where you want to put things and where it will mount and stay up or in place without messing anything up.

Here is a couple of links that have some really good ideas. They are very long took me several weeks to get thru.
